Quenching

Quenching is a heat treatment process, belonging to the broader category of thermal processing methods, in which a metal—typically steel—is rapidly cooled from an elevated temperature to achieve a harder martensitic microstructure and enhance mechanical properties such as strength and wear resistance.
